Neighbourhood Safety
Crime in South Point Douglas has historically been high, with violent incidents peaking at 324 in 2023 and property crimes reaching 408 in 2025. However, preliminary 2026 data shows a dramatic drop to just 20 violent crimes and 19 property crimes, representing year-over-year declines of over 90%.
